Benjamin Harrison plays the “Communists’ Chorus” on a large pipe organ, with “Tom Reed” and “McKinley” singing along. All are wearing liberty caps. Includes text of the chorus, which laments, “The Wilson Bill your present thought engages; / We must bring the whole thing up short with a jerk. / The Government has got to pay the wages / Of every man who doesn’t care to work!”
